Nepotism another chapter in CNS corruption history
Bnamericas Published: Wednesday, July 02, 2003
The high level of nepotism within Bolivia's national healthcare institution Caja Nacional de Salud (CNS) adds another chapter to the history of corruption within the CNS over the last five years, local daily El Deber reported. According to an audit carried out by national health insurance agency Inases, there are 383 cases of nepotism in four of the nine geographical regions covered by CNS including La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Tarija. At CNS's regional offices in capital La Paz alone, Inases has highlighted 219 cases of nepotism or irregularities in the employment of family members. The levels of nepotism are separated into three categories: father and son, spouses, and siblings, and the cases extend to the highest level of CNS's management structure with Jose Carreon, the head of the healthcare funds research center, having two brothers employed by the institution.
